What radioactive isotope is used in most nuclear power plants?
Most nuclear fuel for nuclear reactors in power plants is enriched uranium, though there are some plants that use "regular" uranium, like the plants using heavy water. There are also plants that use plutonium.Research and development is being done on nuclear plants using thorium as fuel.Surf on over to the Wikipedia articles to mine more data. You'll find links to them below.
What type of nuclear power is used in powerplants?
Nuclear power from the fission of uranium and/or plutonium
What fuel is used in nuclear power plants?
A nuclear reactor is a device to initiate, control, and sustain a nuclear chain reaction. Nuclear power is energy produced from controlled nuclear reactions. When it comes to just standard fuel across the table it would have to be: Plutonium, Uranium, and Thorium.
Which metals is used for generation of Nuclear Power?
Fission power plants: * Uranium * Plutonium * Thorium Radioisotope thermal generators: * Plutonium * Strontium * Polonium * Curium * Americium
What element is used as the source of nuclear power?
